Superb film about White supremacism, grief, cultural change and the affects of terrorism on ordinary people.
Brenda BLETHYN and Sotigui KOUYATÉ make a particularly fine screen couple and their growing friendship follows the arc of the story as they come to realize that they have the same fate. The director Rachid Bouchareb fashions a beguiling and emotionally-affecting drama from such a slight premiss that you wonder why other filmmakers cannot do so. Like I've Loved You So Long, we get a very clear sense of the emotional turmoil going on under the characters' skin because the actors know how to reveal this without histrionics and with empathetic camera work.
There is nothing to dislike here.
